For one, there are 4 pages of Bike Jobs listed on this site alone. The site where I found my current job and my current racing team. Most of my best friends are those I've made while on the bike. My husband and I share the love of the bike. Our two little girls love riding bikes. I think our kitten would love riding bikes if only we could find her a well-fitting helmet. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Because if I did, I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe and brush my hair more. I've been asked by out of state friends, "Don't you have any REAL clothes or shoes that aren't related to cycling?" Coloradans understand.
